Damien Done is the nom de plume of Damien Moyal, best known as frontman of iconic 90s hardcore punk bands As Friends Rust. Here, Moyal takes a sharp and decided turn from the angst of his past, instead crooning unnerving, voyeuristic tales over bleak numbers that at once touch on the doom and drawl of swampy grunge and the cold, blue sneer of dark 80s pop and post-punk.

Much like another infamous Damien, there is a dark and seedy undercurrent at the heart of what makes Charm Offensive such an alluring listen. Damien Done is the latest project from Damien Moyal – the former fixture as frontman of a number of iconic Florida hardcore bands, such as As Friends Rust, On Bodies, Shai Hulud, Culture, and Morning Again (among others), and it’s a bold left turn from the expectations his past works place on your ears. With his haunting baritone navigating a pulpy array of noir-ish tales of blackmail, voyeurism, secrecy, and guilt, Charm Offensive is a dark, moody fever dream. The arresting mixture of art rock, new wave, doom rock, and post-punk spans styles and genres to create a surprisingly cohesive and, well, charming collection. The record perfectly conjures up a lush, gloomy atmosphere; however, Damien Done’s first release is impeccably melodic and addictive. Charm Offensive is truly a treat for fans of Nick Cave, King Dude, and the darker side of new wave.
